NRG is not an acronym for Neat Racing Garment. It’s actually a cute shorthand for the word “energy”, which this suit may give you in spades. How would a racing suit do that, you ask? We can’t make sense of it, but the makers of Powerkler, the “thermo-sensitivity bio-activation textile”, try to explain here. Wearing this suit just might make you a better person.
Wild claims aside, Crazy Idea makes some pretty awesome race suits. With secret stash locations for an avalanche beacon, water bottle, headlamp, and NRG gels, the suit functions as well as it looks. And regardless of your tastes it looks great since you can pick from a wide variety of color schemes. If you’ve been waiting for the most popular skimo racing suits in Europe to become available in North America, your wait is over. It’s time to suit up.
